Oaly the tlrw st MlllUll la Its mart an ayiM MORE An Indiana editor recently ventured to remark, concerning the BalllngerI Plnchot affair, thac of course Ballin!ger did not "intentionally" aid the spoliations of the people by the Cunningham interests. Be that as it may there are some things which have bee brought to light which show that H' Topartment of the Interior might it..,, as well have been turned over to the Cunningham interests and others, under the careful mismanagement of Ballinger. What particular difference does it make if Ballinger did this intentionally or not. We are told that Ballinger is a shrewd man. If he has done these things unwittingly he is a fool, criminally a fool. But Ballinger is- accounted a gocd corporation lawyer. We suggest to the reader a perusal of this extract from Collier's which will appear later in the week. What actually confronted the . ut'iJtti iiuciu wu'j uuw ii luuiu lust; the suits without exposure. The rather clever scheme agreed upon was to send an honest hut incredibly Ignorant youth to represent the government. Tne Interior Department selected a man named Sheridan. It has carefully deco- ' rated the record with tributes to his genius, Actually, he had one year's experience as a subordinate special agent in Denver. He emerged from a night law-school course in 1007. Of the agents who were familiar with these cases, Glavis had been discharged, and the others were carefully sent away to distant points. Lawyers, listen. Sheridan objected to a question on cross-examination, because it was a leading question. When one of his own questions, on direct examination, was objected to as leading, Sheridan gravely declared he bad the right to indicate to his witnesses what answer he expected. You don't believe such ignorance possible? Ask those who were at the hearing. And Sheridan is opposed to two of the loading lawyers In the West. If the plan to lose the cases In Seattle Is successful, what follows? The Cunningham claims go to : Dennett. You know about Den- . nett, from our issue of two weeks ago. Next they go to Pierce, the to push them through. Perhaps our friend Iawler will have a chance at them also. Ballinger will look the other way, in order to be impartial, and the game will achieve its successful close. Such Is the plot. In spite of public outcry, insiders are betting seven to three the Guggcn helms will yet control Alaska. FREDERICK REMINGTON The death of Frederick Remington takes away one of the real American artists who did not disdain to incorporate in their work the. real spirit of this country. He was known for a long time as merely an illustrator, but without changing his work, his style or h's subjects be was speedily recognized as an artist. Gone are the frontier days, the buffalo is long since practically extinct, the white covered emigrant wagons have been supplanted by the railroad, but still we have tbem always with us, faithfully and feeling set down with a master's skill. .Frederick Remington knew and loved the wiry little pony or the prairie, and immortalized that little spirited beast. And so It is with all the breeey western life effervescent with the best that is in America. His pictures were epics In which the adventurous spirit of American progress, nervous and steadfast, careless of self and faithful In a crisis are a monument to the country which gave him birth. For this reason this country loses more than an illustrator, more than an artist he was the finest flower of the land, who will leave his impress of all that U best of former generations to

be an inspiration to those who will come after.

THE ST. GAUDENS EXHIBIT Those who may be in Indianapolis in the next fortnight, will do well to look in on the St. Gaudens exhibit of sculpture American art has no better things to offer and St. Gauden's work holds its own with the best of modern art. The greatest lesson to be derived from bis work Is not from those things for which he Is celebrated among artists his handling of modern costume nor yet his setting of bis subjects in an appropriate back ground. He rises to the highest point in art because he is nationally sincere. Take his Lincoln, his Shaw memorial, or the famous Puritan, and in tbem all is a sublime recognition of his native land. Those modern artists who have been ashamed of their nativity and have endeavored to make their work cosmopolitan have fallen short of the mark because they had not enough depth of spiritual feeling. Therefore they have turned out a mongrel form of art tinctured by the schools of Paris and Munich. St. Gauden's should be honored by the America he made sublime. Items Gathered in From Far and Near THE CRAVING FOR DRINK. Alexander Lambert, M. D., In "Hope for the Victims of Narcotics," printed in Success Magazine, says: The causes and effects of alcoholism form a vast subject about which much truth and mnny falsehoods have been written. The falsehoods have been more than a passing harm, for they have caused in the minds of the ignorant a disbelief in the truth, and the strict truth displays a terrible picture. The use of alcohol is the most common and widespread of all the narcotics, and unlike morphine and cocaine, it may be indulged in modestly without ever being taken to excess; but, also unlike morphine and cocaine when used even in moderation it may cause pathologic changes in the body, and when taken to excess invariably produces degenerative changes in the various viscera. Alcohol has a curious selective action, and as individuals react differently to equal doses, su. too. do individuals show different patho'ogic changes from equal indugences. The man who indulges in alcoholic excesses Is like a man who recklessly signs sight drafts which he never expects to be cashed in but when over taken with acute disease or accidents these drafts are cashed in with pitiless Insistence. The actual thirst or craving is not inherited, but the weaker moral character which is bequeather easily gives way to any temptation and quickly forms habits of excessive indulgence. WALNUTS ON OAK TREES. Up in Calaveras county there is a new wind of genius who might be called the walnut wizard. His name is E. M. Price, and he grows not only the biggest walnuts ever, but grows them on oak trees. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Hyatt discovered him while attending a teachers' institute in Calaveras county last week. Prom all accounts Price has done something almost as startling as Luther Burbank. Burbank made the peopling of the desert with spineless cactus possible, and Price hopes to people the forest with walnuts. Price does not mean to plant walnut trees in the forest, but to graft branches on oak trees and let them bear. His experiments so far have demonstrated the feasibility of such an enterprise. The oak trees all about his home In the Calaveras hills are engrafted with walnut stocks and some have grown fruit. None of the nuts have matured as yet, however, and the puzzling question has arizen, when they are ripe what will they look like, walnuts or acorns? And what will they taste like, acorns or walnuts? The walnuts Price has grown on or dinary trees are three times bigger than the walnuts in the markets. This result he has achieved by a long series of experiments. Price has improved the quality of other kinds of nuts. Sacramento Bee. 7 WINKLES The Vocal Selection. A wedding was recently held in Topeka which was of the fashionable kind, and there were all sorts of preparations and frills. Among the "features" was a song by a baritone singer of considerable local renown, and just what he w as to warble was a matter of considerable discussion. A little sister, 6 years old, of 'the bride, took much interest in the pro gram. "Sis," she said, "I want to sing at your wedding." "No, dear, you can't sing," was the rejoinder. ' But I can, and I want to," she pleaded. "What would you sing?" her father asked her. Heaven, Look With Pity," was her rejoinder, and her father hasn't got over it yet.Kansas City Journal.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye MOTHER'S WAGES. What about mother's wages? Father gets his, the boys get theirs, and the girls get theirs. Nobody pays mother's wages. Father does not pay mother's wages, because he says it takes all of his to pay the bills and make both ends meet. The boys say they must have good clothes and some "spending money" and they cannot pay mother. And the girls complain that their small wages all go for suits and hats and ribbons. So that mother gets no wages. She simply does the family work without pay. While the others complain, mother hustles. It is mother who gets up early in the morning to get breakfast for father and the boys and hurries tbem off to their work, who gets the girls a hasty bite and then warms up the scraps for the little ones who go to school. Mother eats between times. It is mother who all day long sweeps and scrubs and dusts and sews and cooks and hustles in the meantime to get two more meals. And after supper father sits down to bis pipe and evening paper or goes downtown to talk politics. The boys dress and go out for "a time." The girls have company. But mother washes the dishes and gets things ready for breakfast and then sits down and darns stockings until bedtime. Eight hours? Mother works about eighteen! And the next day. and the next, and the next, as long as she can keep out of bed. mother keeps up these exact ing, never ending labors, while the others get all the pay. Suppose the family bad to employ a housekeeper to do this work I She would demand mighty good pay for these two shifts in one. And perhaps she would throw out at the back kitch en door as much as her wages. But mother works on and pinches and saves and scrapes for nothing. Is it fair? Mother should have her wages. Let father give her most of his. She will make a dollar go further than he can Let the boys save from their theater tickets and the girls from their choco lates and pay mother something. Try giving her an allowance, even if it is small, and watch her face brighten until she looks almost as young as her girls. She will not spend it all on herself. Trust mother for that. Try it. Pay mother her wages. While in Germany meat is subject to ante-mortem and post-mortem exam ination by government inspectors, ever piece of meat approved being stamped, the authorities exercise no control over the methods employed by the meat prepearing establishments, and so nothing prevents objectionable products from entering into it except the generally high characte of the exporters themselves. For home consumption the German food laws do not allow coloring matter or Injurious preservatives, but a manufacturer can ex port without official Interference arti cles for a character the sale of which would be prohibited or restricted in German territory.

GREAT LOVE STORIES of HISTORY By Albert Pay son Terhunm

LADY JANE GREY AND GUILFORD DUDLEY tCepjrtcat. by la Aitaor.J A schoolgirl and a mere boy, who loved her, were once used as pawns in the merciless game of politics. They suffered the usual fate of pawns. And that fate forms one of the saddest tittle love stories in all history. The girl was Lady Jane Grey, daugh ter of the duke of Suffolk. She was wonderfully well educated, but had the innocent charm and simplicity of a child. She was a cousin of England's boy king, Edward VI., son of Henry VIII. and Jane Seymour. Edward was a sickly lad; quite under the influence of his chief councellor, the duke of Northumberland. The duke was a wily politician, and sketched out a decided ly clear plan for his own family's advancement. He bullied Edward into bequeathing the English crown to Lady Jane. Then he married Jane to his own son, Lord Guilford Dudley. The young couple were very much In love with each other and were unusually happy in their brief married life. But their love and happiness did not greatly interest Northumberland. He had other matters to think of. Soon after making Lady Jane his heir the boy king pined away and died. It was whispered that Northumberland was A Plot for the Crown. more or less responsible for his fatal illness. At Edward's death the duke forced the royal council to proclaim Jane queen of England. This was rank injustice. For the two daughters of Henry VIII. Mary and Elizabethwere still living. The crown belonged by right to Mary, the daughter of Catherine of Aragon, and elder of the two half-sisters. Jane realized this and tried to refuse the unwelcome honor of becoming queen. On her knees she begged to be allowed to remain in private life. But Northumberland explained away her scruples. He persuaded her young husband that Jane was the rightful heir to the throne; and Dudley added his arguments to the duke's. So it was that Lady Jaae unwillingly consented to her husband's plea. She tearfully left her country home and permitted herself to be crowned queen. Gentle and obedient in all things, she thought that if Dudley wished her to take such a step it could aot be wrong. On July 10, 1553, the girl began her reign a reign that lasted just ten days. She was 15 years old and had no knowledge of statecraft. Northumberland did the actual ruling. Jane and Dudley were mere figureheads. While the two lovers played at royal ty, the old duke and his council ran affairs to suit themselves. Meantime, Mary collected a large army and marched upon London to claim her rights. Northumberland could raise no sufficient force to oppose her. He was captured and executed, leaving Jane and Dudley to bear the consequences of his treason. Mary entered in triumph and was crowned queen of England. Jane was overjoyed at being able to lay aside the crown and scepter she hated. She rejoiced at the idea of retiring to her country home with the young husband she adored, and settling down as a quiet rustic matron. But Mary would not allow this. She felt so insecure upon her new throne that she dared not leave Lady Jane and her husband at liberty. So the girl and Dudley were arrested and cast into prison. There for months they remained. It is possible that Mary merciless as she afterward proved herself to be might have spared these two innocent children's lives. But a revolt, headed by Sir Thomas Wyatt and Jane's father, so frightened her that she ordered the young prisoners beheaded. Her orders were carried out with needless brutality. A kindly officer, however, offered to grant Jane a last interview with Dudley, The girl refused. "Since we must die," she said, "we must do nothing to weaken our cour- . . age. Tell my The Price of Joved one that , Monarchy. Bend h,m k,gg of farewell. I should like to receive it from his lips, but I could not endure the grief of the parting. Our enemies must not be able to say we were afraid to die." Accordingly, the lovers did not meet again. Dudley's head was struck off and his lifeless, bleeding body was carried past the window of his wife's cell. Jane kissed her hand to it, through the bars, crying: "Farewell! The best part of you is already in Heaven, where I shall soon join you, never more to leave you!" An hour later she herself was led forth to die. To those around her she said: "If England's welfare demands my death it is better that an innocent person should suffer than that the state's safety should be risked." Thus, on February 12, 1554,, this 16-year-old victim of the iron game of politics laid down her pretty, innocent life, dying on the same' headsman's block as had Anne Boleyn. and outliving by only one short hour the man she loved. Making Good. "I guess all the people in the neighborhood are getting picture post cards from your son." "His teacher always predicted that he would be heard from some of these days."

Sought at one time by the federal authorities under a $10,000 reward for his capture, deai or alive, for his alleged conspiracy !n the murder of a president of the waited States, and now appointed as a member of the legislative body of that country, is the strange experience of Colonel James Gordon, of Okolona, who has been named by Governor Noel a successor to the late A. J. McLaurin. Colonel Gordon was one of the several Confederate leaders suspected of being in conspiracy with J. Wilkes Booth to kill President Abraham Lincoln. He escaped arrest and probably death only through the intervention, it is stated, of a Yankee Colonel with whom he bad crossed swords in a fight in Virginia. During the earlier years of the war Colonel Gordon had formed an inti mate friendship with Booth, and after the assassination of President Lincoln the reward of $10,000 was offered for his capture. Colonel Gordon went to Canada, and it was several months after the close of hostilities before he found it safe to return home. During one of the campaigns in Virginia Colonel Gordon had fought with the Colonel of a New York cavalry regiment. Both were wounded, but they afterward became fast friends. Colonel Gordon wrote a letter to this New Yorker denying that he had any part in the Lincoln conspiracy, and statins that he desired to return home. The former foe took the mat
